What happens when the biggest battle you ever fight is with your own mind?

This week on The Human Mask, I sat down with Jimmy Roche, a military veteran whose life has been shaped by trauma, mental illness, being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, multiple suicide attempts, and a relentless search for redemption.

Jimmy speaks openly about living with schizophrenia, how it has changed the way he sees the world, and why he’s dedicated to trying to put right the mistakes of his past. His perspective on human behaviour is unlike anything we’ve explored before—raw, uncomfortable, and deeply thought-provoking.

We also discuss what happened after his appearance on another major podcast, where Jimmy believes his story was misrepresented, giving him the opportunity to explain his side and set the record straight.

Whether you agree with Jimmy or not, this conversation challenges assumptions about mental health, accountability, forgiveness, and what it really means to understand another human being.

Some people don’t just write music. They survive through it.

This week on The Human Mask, I sat down with Niamh, known professionally as West Girl, for one of the most honest and emotionally raw conversations we’ve had.

Niamh has faced more than many people experience in a lifetime. From battling addiction to navigating some of life’s darkest moments, her story is one of pain, resilience, and hope. Yet despite everything, she’s held onto something incredibly rare: a childlike spirit, a unique outlook on life, and a determination to keep creating.

Today, she’s channelling her experiences into music, using it as a way to process the past, express who she is, and connect with others. Having recently signed to a record label, an exciting new chapter is beginning.

This isn’t just a conversation about music. It’s about identity, survival, self-expression, and what can happen when someone refuses to let their past define their future.

If you’ve ever wondered how people find light after darkness, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What happens when your entire identity is built around one dream… and that dream is taken away?

This week I sat down with James Roffey for one of the most raw and honest conversations we’ve had on The Human Mask.

At just 17, James was released from professional football after spending years in the academy system. What followed was a decade-long battle with an eating disorder that nearly cost him his life more than once. His story shines a light on something rarely talked about: male eating disorders, identity, self-worth, and the pressure young athletes face when the thing they’ve built their life around suddenly disappears.

Today, James has rebuilt his life, becoming a mindset and strength coach, helping others navigate the challenges he once faced himself. But this isn’t just a story about football or recovery. It’s a conversation about who we are when the mask comes off and life doesn’t go to plan.

If you’ve ever struggled with identity, purpose, mental health, rejection, or simply finding your place in the world, this episode is for you.

What happens when a nuclear engineer steps beyond logic and into the human mind?

In this episode, I sit down with Montse, a nuclear engineer, TEDx speaker, philosopher, and spiritual thinker and we go far beyond surface-level conversation.

This isn’t just about science or spirituality. It’s about the space where both collide.

We explore what it really means to be human.
Self-awareness. Identity. The patterns we live by without questioning.
And whether logic alone is enough to understand life or if something deeper is at play.

Montse brings a rare perspective. Highly analytical, yet deeply reflective. Structured thinking meets inner awareness.

This conversation challenges the way you see yourself, your decisions, and the world around you.

If you’ve ever questioned who you are beneath the roles, beliefs, and conditioning, this is for you.

Watch, reflect, and decide for yourself.
